Once upon a time there was a tale

​

Once upon a time there was a tale,
The tale is not happy at all,
The tale starts
With a Jewish king.
 
Chorus:
Lyulinke, my little bird,
Lyulinke, my child,
I have lost such a love,
I am sad and hurt.
 
The king had got a queen,
The queen had got a vineyard,
In the vineyard there was a tree,
Lyulinke, my child.
 
(Chorus)
 
The tree had got a little branch,
On the little branch there was a little nest,
In the little nest there lived a little bird,
Lyulinke, my child.
 
(Chorus)
 
The king died,
The queen became desolate,
The little branch broke,
The little bird flew from the nest.
 
(Chorus)
